Hearings scheduled for Wednesday, January 31
NHRTL: SUPPORTS
HB1721 | Title: relative to coercive abortions
Judiciary Committee at 11:00 AM
This bill would make it a crime to coerce a woman into an abortion and require women to be screened for being coerced. NHRTL believes reducing forced abortions will both help protect women and reduce the number of abortions.
NHRTL: OPPOSES due to exceptions proposed
HB1680| Title: relative to abortions after viability
Judiciary Committee at 10:00 AM
This bill prohibits post-viability abortions (which NHRTL supports) but it also includes exceptions for the [unrestrained] health of the mother; for Twin To Twin Transfer (TTS) syndrome; and for Fetal anomalies incompatible with life. NHRTL cannot support enacting law that explicitly excludes any class of humans from legal protection.
